Hi, In discussion about P2P find phase offload, I see one bit that was not cleared, and want to discuss it prior to coding: probe replying policy. option 1: all or nothing. If device indicates NL80211_FEATURE_P2P_PROBE_RESP_OFFLOAD, it should answer all matching probes, and wpa_s should never answer probes. If device don't indicate offload, it never answer probes and wpa_s do answer all matching probes. option 2: flexible. If device indicates NL80211_FEATURE_P2P_PROBE_RESP_OFFLOAD, it may answer some matching probes, and wpa_s should answer ones that device missed for some reason. To enable this, add 'flags' parameter to cfg80211_rx_mgmt() saying whether frame was replied by device/driver. Real question here is whether there are devices that can answer probes, but not always. If such devices are real, option 2 is better. I know that for 60g, I'd like to add some more bits to 'flags' from option 2, so I am biased to this option.
